BirdyID Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I use the Merlin app and it could not identify this bird. I was around La Fortuna in Costa Rica. Never did see it, but got a recording of it's call. It happens from 9-18 and 30-37. Please help. Merlin bird call recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelLong Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 What's the habitat and elevation? @Connor Cochrane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdyID Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 253 meters / 830 ft. Around the Arenal volcano and Lake Arenal. Specifically, it was at Kokoro, 500 mts west of creek La Palma of La Fortuna, 142, Alajuela Province, La Fortuna. We were on a walk around the area. I would describe the habitat rain forest / jungly. It wasn't a call we heard a lot, so I would say there wasn't many of them. Heard it around 6AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLong Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Ok, I think this is a Bay Wren, here's a recording of a somewhat similar sounding bird, from what I can tell from Macaulay Library this is an extremely variable sounding bird. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/209706 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdyID Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Amazing! After listening to Bay Wren calls that you linked, on YouTube, and even within Merlin app, we would absolutely agree that is our bird. I can see why the app had difficulty, they have such a wide range of vocals and alternations. Thank you so so much for helping us identify this bird. We are disappointed we didn't get to see it, because it is such a beautiful bird, but can at least take pleasure in the fact we got to hear it. Again, thank you very much!
